Busan (previously named Pusan), the second most populated city in Korea, is home to cultural and economic sectors of southeast region of Korea. With Busan having Korea’s busiest port and strategic location, the said city became well-known for its international trade, ship building industry, as well as tourism. Busan also hosts international conventions, film festivals, as well as sports tournaments. While many foreign tourists flock to Seoul during their first time in Korea, more and more returning tourists discover Busan for its more laidback and history-filled way of life.
Coming from the Philippines, local and international airlines now offer direct flights to Busan for faster and more convenient travel. During the long weekend last August, my family and I spent the long weekend at Busan, making it my third trip to Korea. Though a weekend trip isn’t enough to explore Busan in all its glory, you can still do plenty of things in Busan for 4 days and 3 nights. I’ve listed down 12 things for you to explore in Busan for a short getaway. Read until the last part – you’ll probably want to visit that one!
